James Norwood Pratt is quite possibly the world’s most widely read authority on tea and tea lore thanks to books translated into multiple languages and numerous columns, articles, videos, and print and TV interviews in the U.S. and overseas media. Since the first edition of his classic Tea Lover’s Treasury appeared 35 years ago, he has been an inspiring presence on the international tea scene. He has served as Honorary Director of America’s first traditional tea house and as International Juror of India’s first-ever tea competition. He is the author of James Norwood Pratt’s Tea Dictionary, the worldwide tea trade’s standard reference work, and has become America’s acknowledged Tea Sage. In 2015, he received the John Harney Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a contributing editor for TeaTime and lives with his wife Valerie Turner Pratt in San Francisco.
I look forward to each issue of TeaTime. Each issue is colorful, creative, and inspiring in addition to being about tea which I adore. Thank you‼️
